Your Shapes, Your Colors
A love letter to surface pattern design
Dear Surface Pattern Design,
Though it hasn’t been long since we met, looking back at my life before you feels like recalling a half-written story, missing lines I never knew. Cluelessy incomplete. I don’t know how I made it through my days. Without YOU.
Life is so much fuller now. More colorful with you by my side.
Marks, shapes, colorways. You bring beauty to my heart, brightness into my days. Straight, round, curved, I adore all your ways and edges.
You emerge out of simple lines, splashes, and scribbles. And suddenly, you come to life. You come in layers that slowly, one by one wrap around me leading up to a big cozy hug.
Where have you been hiding? Haven’t you been ever present in my daily life already? Without me even noticing? Yes, you have. I see you. Now.
You are the flowers on my bedsheets, the cuddly bears on my dog’s favorite snuggle blanket, the ornaments on my walls, the lobsters on my apron.
Everywhere. Everything. That’s what you are to me.
